Follow Your Bliss

“When living is a mythic journey, one can give expression to one’s unconscious fears,

desires, tensions and longings that underlie their conscious behaviors.  

Living into your own personal myth can rescue a deeply buried personal orientation for

living in the world, obtained from within the most profound depths of one’s human

character.”
